Abstract

Abstract : Feminist art and ethnography have something in common. We examine the everyday; are interested in activism and equality. As a practitioner of both, I assert that we need feminist ethnography, especially in corporate technology research, where women are discounted because of cultural stereotypes, in spite of being key users and consumers. We need to be open about being feminist ethnographers. We must turn ideas of "bias" inside out, as current bias against women in technology is rampant. It's going to be a lot of work, but it's work that is worth doing.
